Stock wraith internals motor, trans, gears and stuff.

Thanks in advance.

First of all you need to isolate the problem. Find out if it is coming from the trans or one of the axles.

Disconnect one driveshaft at a time and see if you can stop the noise. Once it stops you'll know where the sound is. If it does t stop then it's in the motor/trans.

My guess is your stock motor is about to bite the dust.

Thanks for the reply, I did just reassemble it so no problem taking it back down, should have thought of that. (common sense) goes a long way "thumbsup"

Do you think I should wait for the tekin pro 4 or buy the tekin 13.5???

I don't know a thing about the new Tekin motor. The 4 pole motors are great torque wise and if it's sensored as well then it will probably be a nice combo. What is the turn value though?

The 13.5 will still be a good motor and the 4PL is in a completely different class then the 3C. If those two options were up to me I wouldn't even question stepping up to a good radio.

The 4PL can do both. Go read my build. I had both installed but decided to remove the dog because I didn't need it with the 4WS. I would suggest 4WS and a winch.

besides competing for what can a use a winch???

ESC 08-24-2011 04:47 PM

Flip the shock mounts and Proline Powerstroke shocks made for the front of a Slash (3.5").
